John Couper is on the Executive Committee of the society

complements the adjoining Maddingley Park,” Mr Couper

Councillor Tatchell sparked debate by objecting to the
motion, with East Ward Councillor Jarrod Bingham adding
that he is from a long line of farmers, and West Ward
Councillor Tom Sullivan also agreeing that the categories

he would get on with it.
“Roy was dedicated to his research too. Every Monday,
for 30 years, he would go in to the Public Records Office
in Ballarat and he wrote down anything to do with the
district.
“Just before he died the other day, he gave us books, and

The Moorabool Reservoir was another of Roy’s favourite

“When it looked like it was going to be redeveloped,
Roy was in there; Roy was right amongst it; Roy was the

Spielvogel said.
“He used to come out every Tuesday with me, and he must

To record information on a person or a place Roy would
write it all down on a library card, and not just one.
“The library cards, there are close to 100,000, all written by

Mr Spielvogel said.
All those years of recording information by hand and the
trips to Ballarat, has Roy Huggins left a legacy?
“He definitely left a legacy. Now it is up to us to treasure it,
and make sure it gets used.”
